Printer no software

I recently acquired a printer from daughter and I have no software disc to load this printer, which is HP 1210 All In One. I tried via HP website and got the message access denied, How can I install this printer to our new HP 2216 Computer. Thanks, Wayne

and select your version of windows and then download the relelvant software. Make sure that you are logged on as an administrator or a user with administrator rights, other wise you may not be able to download or install programs, depending on what blocks you have put on for users. Generally the person who created the original user account on a new computer is an administrator and all other users created after this will have to be created as either an administrator (full rights) or a standard user which will have limited rights.

The problem is with the device driver. Every piece of hardware has a corresponding software program called a device driver to let Vista/XP know it is there and what it does and how to do it. If a disc came with your printer then that is what loads the device driver. However, with USB devices you must load the driver with the USB cable unplugged from the printer. Then once the driver loads then plug in the printer...nobody knows exactly why but that is with all USB devices. So unplug and load the disc, then plug and see if it works. You may have to reboot..if that does not work let me know as they are a couple of ways to get it to working. Good luck and keep me updated. Pls rate this solution.

The 1210 is a very old model (in computer age!) so it might not work with the EEE range, especially if you are runnning linux - you could look for linux divers in google if the EEE is running linux. If it is running windows I don't know why it wouldn't load the software as normal

I presume you used the software disc which came with your printer. If so I would suggest that you go out to hp.com support and check for updated downloads for your machine. Once they are installed you should have it solved. The scanner requires extra software in addition to the printer stuff.
